DIY Wall Niche!

Yay!! We're finally getting our tools back out and working on the interior of the house. Our goal is to finish painting the downstairs hallway and add a visual statement.

Old photo, but this is the hallway.

Around the corner...on the right is a huge blank wall. At first we thought about another photo collage or large art work, but that didn't pop enough for us. Plus, the area is so high traffic we didn't want anything actually popping out... so we started brainstorming ideas that would be recessed... {Enter: Wall Niches}

It took me about a week to find out the actual name! I kept searching "wall cutouts" "recessed walls" "holes in the wall" (That turned up a lot of interesting things!) Anywho...finally found it...a wall niche.
Here are some inspiration photos that have us buzzing with excitement!

We're currently measuring and drawing out the plan!! This is definitely something that will happen next month! Meanwhile, we also need to decide on the color we'll be painting the walls! We're looking into the orange/tan family.

Ohhhhh is that what they are called :-) HILARIOUS coz I have also been searching but didn't know the name. I love love love these and the inspiration pics have got my mind spinning. Can't wait to behold!!

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
